This paper formulates a model of the socialization process by which persons become involved in sports. The model focuses on interpersonal influences within both the family of orientation and that of procreation. Data were collected from a random sample of the adult population in a mid-western metropolitan area. The model was able to account for approximately one-half of the variance in sports involvement among the persons included in the sample.
